Many many thanks for the heads up. Even without the URL,I had no difficulty finding this set on Amazon and have just ordered a copy. I am greatly looking forward to leaning back in my sweet-spot chair, closing my eyes, and immersing myself in Rimsky's Romanticism.
bargain price is secondary to finding an outstanding performance and MCH recording of this spectacular piece. Let us know what you think of this when you play it.
I really do not understand why one would restrict himself to SACD's or multi channels, surely the performances comes first.
I do have the Reiner SACD and although the sound has lots of presence I find the performance boring. And to be honest I am more interested in the other works included in this 4 cd's set than Sheherazade.
I just heard it too many times.
"I really do not understand why one would restrict himself to SACD's or multi channels, surely the performances comes first."
Completely agreed. However, I have multiple recordings of this piece on LP and CD and, although I won't list them, they are musically satisfying (as suitable for this piece).
OTOH, what is lacking is a decent multichannel recording and, if you must know, that is important (although secondary) to me.
